Gardening with Kids

I recommend this audiobook to everyone! I was not expecting how deep this teaching was. Not only did the author cover all the needed information to have a successful garden but they also included so many valuable lessons on the benefits and teachings that children will learn by simply enjoying and tending to a garden. It was great, I can't say enough, I loved it!

A FASCINATING AND INFORMATIVE RESOURCE!

This book is absolutely fantastic! I'm genuinely intrigued by the wealth of information it offers. The idea of creating a garden that not only produces fresh, homegrown goodies but also becomes a hub for family bonding is really appealing. I'm particularly excited about the section on selecting the right plants and ensuring they thrive. I can already picture my nephew and I getting our hands dirty and enjoying the process. This book seems like the perfect guide to turn gardening into a fulfilling family adventure. I'm definitely going to give it a go! I appreciate the author for such an amazing work. Highly recommended!

Awesome gardening resource

I thought the author did a great job at making this book a source of information but also delivering it in an entertaining way. Getting kids away from the computer screen and outside is an important thing all parents are striving to do, and here you have the perfect activity. This book shows you how to prep the soil and get it ready for seed. It gives practice advice how to plant the seeds as well as how to properly water and feed the seeds as they grow. Finally, the book goes through when and how to harvest the plants, but ti doesn't stop there. The author gives advice on how to include the the vegetables in healthy meals that kids will like.
Great job Lorie!

Awesome!

This is a wonderfully written book! It covers the basics of gardening in simple, easy-to-follow terms. I’ve always had an interest in gardening, but I never knew where to start. The author provides guidelines every step of the way. I only have a small space to work with, and this book even covers situations like mine. Whether you have a small area or a large one, this book covers the opportunities you have to garden within the space you have to work with. I particularly like how the book utilizes gardening to create a very wholesome bonding opportunity between parents and kids. The effect of teaching kids about gardening is likely to have positive impacts on their lives long after the kids are on their own. Whether you are new to gardening like me or more seasoned, there are still lessons to be learned from this book.

Everything you need to start Gardening

This book is a complete beginners guide with all the things you need to know. I have my own home garden and one thing I don't pay enough attention to is the soil and thus I don't get the results I want. I learned about soil types and what soil works best in a home garden. Ms Eubank includes everything from getting the right tools, planning and growing the garden to harvesting and eating the produce. It is an excellent place to start your garden.

Wow, wish I had run into this years ago!

Loved this approach. I home schooled for 15 years and this book really breaks it down, I could totally see doing this with my kiddos all those years ago... nonetheless, it is a great resource for me now as grandkids are around the house all the time... put them to work playing in the dirt!! My favorite thing about this book is the full chapters on vegetables, fruit, and flowers. I do not have much of a green thumb, but this book makes it easy with step by step projects. Thanks!!

Invaluable lessons And bond strengthening

This book is an absolute gem when it comes to learning the intricacies of gardening. What I truly adore is the author's emphasis on the incredible opportunity it presents for nurturing a strong and healthy bond between parent and child. However, beyond this beautiful aspect lies a more fundamental truth - this venture serves as a profound teacher of life lessons that will stay with a child well into the future.

Gardening imparts the need for patience, teaching that not all plants thrive; some may falter or perish. It instills the understanding that a garden's abundance relies on unwavering care and dedication. It also underscores a vital connection - that the fruits of our labor sustain our lives.

A child who learns to cultivate a garden not only gains appreciation for the food on their plate but also comprehends the considerable time and effort invested in its growth. And in this process, adults, too, discover invaluable lessons.

Gardening Adventures for Families

"Beginner Gardening with Kids" is an invaluable audiobook for families seeking to embark on a gardening journey together. It provides practical guidance on essential gardening tools, plant selection, soil preparation, and planting techniques. Including a planting calendar ensures year-round gardening success, while additional tips on harvesting and kid-friendly recipes enhance its practicality. Notably, the audiobook strongly emphasizes eco-friendly pest control methods and presents creative projects designed to engage children in the gardening process.

Needed this

I love to garden and to be able to do this with my kids is a true dream come true. I just never knew how to make it safe and fun for the kids so this book was just what I needed. It covered everything from the safety tools they needed, the plant selection that would allow them to see results fast and get excited to keep gardening, to how to remove pests to keep the plants growing. This book was a great guide that any parent needs!

Love Teaching the Organic Pest Control!

"Beginner Gardening with Kids" by Lorie Eubank is an absolute delight for families looking to nurture both their gardens and their children's curiosity. This charming guide offers a delightful journey into the world of gardening that's perfect for beginners, regardless of space or prior experience. My grandfather was decades before his time teaching me all about organic pest control and using other bugs to help take care of predators. Eubank addresses natural pest control and how to attract beneficial insects, fostering a healthy garden ecosystem. The book's creative projects and activities make gardening a joyful and educational experience for kids, sparking their curiosity and teaching them valuable skills. Fantastic book to share with parents with young children!
